Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Who can stop Zuoli's progress?" The coach at Horace Greeley High School wanted to ask the same question.

In the first quarter alone, Zuo Li scored 14 points on top of their center's head, and also had 7 rebounds and 2 blocked shots, 4 of which were offensive rebounds. It was the kind of thing that was obviously not in a good position, but he just managed to score 14 points.

Relying on his body and bounce, he flew into the air and forcibly picked off the rebound, which made his own center frightened.

One quarter passed, and although he didn't say it explicitly, the head coach could already see despair in the eyes of his players.

How on earth are we going to defend ourselves against this guy...

In fact, although Zuo Li's playing style is advanced, it is not without weaknesses. This season, Zuo Li's games have attracted scouts from colleges and universities across the United States and NBA teams to watch them repeatedly.

Finally, the characteristics of Zuoli were analyzed.

I won’t mention the advantages. As the only five-star high school sophomore in New York, Zuo Li’s advantages don’t need to be elaborated too much. But Zuo Li’s shortcomings are also very obvious, that is his shooting ability.

70% of Zuo Li's points come from strong bursts, 15% from post-up singles and free throws near the penalty area, and the total of long-range shots is only 15%. This is not a healthy number, and the shooting rate is also very average. This means that Zuo Li's

Li is a player who relies on his body.

It also means that Zuo Li has obvious areas that can be targeted. When defending him, as long as he prevents his breakthrough, it is equivalent to guarding his entire body.

However…

too difficult!

In the past two years, so many coaches have thought of countless ways. No matter whether they use centers or defenders, they can't stop Zuo Li. Even if he is one meter away, Zuo Li can't keep up with his first step. There is no solution for one-on-one.

Double-teaming didn't even work, Zuo Li often performed one-on-five moments.

This makes these analyzes empty talk.

And it reminds people of a person who was once known as the strongest high school student in history.

LeBron James!

Yes, some scouts are now comparing Zuo Li with the original James. Although Zuo Li's body shape looks more and more like Garnett, his style of play is not as good as the Wolf King who fights and retreats.

It's so explosive. On the contrary, he is very similar to James in high school, but his personal technical ability is obviously better. After all, he comes from the street, and his technical skills are undoubtedly the first, but Zuo Li is a one-on-five person... and he can also hit from behind!

This has caused Zuo Li's evaluation to continue to rise in this half season, and the template has also become-difficult to define!

How to defend such a player...

"Anyway, I can't guard you!" At the end of the half, Horace Greely's big inside center sat on the chair and said to the coach aggrievedly: "He is not a center. Apart from his height, I have never seen him play like this.

Center, have you ever seen a center who holds the ball around the three-point line, crossovers, and Sam Gold breaks through!"

I felt wronged, wanted to cry, and wanted to eat something sour.

Defend whoever you love, I can't stand this blow!

Horace Greely's coach was also helpless. In the third quarter, he could only ask the team's No. 3 position to keep up with Zuo Li, but it was still of little use. Zuo Li immediately went to the low post. Curry understood this.

Feeding the ball continuously, Zuo Li relied on his height advantage to score consecutively, and once again contributed 30 points in less than three quarters, maintaining his fine tradition of 30 points in every game this season.

Forced to have no choice, they started double-teaming, and then the Curry brothers started to exert force from the outside, swishing, swishing, swishing~

The game is over~

"Let us cheer, 87-56, Stuyvesant defeated his opponents and won 15 consecutive victories, temporarily ranking first in winning streak, and continuing to maintain his unbeaten golden status. Let's see you after Christmas." The commentary at the home court.

Said in a relaxed and freehand manner.

The commentary here is comfortable, and the game is exciting.

Winning the game means that the Stuyvesant students finally ushered in the annual Christmas holiday. This time the Curry brothers returned to California. Although Elizabeth Olsen was a little reluctant to leave, she also knew that this kind of holiday left

There was little hope of living with Zuo Li. Even if her aunt agreed, her two sisters would be furious, so the day after the competition, she reluctantly said goodbye to Zuo Li and flew back to California.

But Zuo Li is still relaxed. Although he is in the United States, he has no habit of celebrating Christmas. It was interesting in the first few years after he came here, but he has become tired of it in the past two years.

So except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day when he and the cat and mouse brothers returned to the orphanage to see Mr. Derek, he chose to stay at the school at other times, since the arena was not closed anyway.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the 24th that Zuo Li, who had finished his training, washed up, took out the mobile phone he had just bought not long ago, and was going to call Tom and Jerry and go back to the orphanage to spend the holidays together.

As soon as he turned on his phone, Zuo Li received a text message from faraway Los Angeles.

‘After training, remember to celebrate the holidays~Happy Christmas Eve.’--Elizabeth Olson.

"This girl~" Zuo Li smiled. The only one who was always so familiar with his training was this little girl who often came to watch his training.

"Yes, I will have a good holiday at home and have a happy Christmas Eve." Zuo Li finished his reply, called Jerry Tom one after another, arranged a meeting place, and Zuo Li walked out of the arena.

How could he not know the girl's thoughts? Although he has never been in love, he is just straight and not stupid.

However, his thoughts are obviously more far-reaching. A 30-year-old soul naturally did not make the decision of an 18-year-old. It is said that it is the most difficult to bear the kindness of a beauty. He is far from completing his goal now. Everything is unknown. There is still more to do.

Many, if you accept easily and accidentally change the opponent's original trajectory beyond recognition, that is not what Zuo Li wants.

If you can't afford a promise, don't make it for the time being. Zuo Li knew this very well from his previous life.

However, Zuo Li, who had just walked out of the school gate and was about to go to the street to bring some gifts to Mr. Derek, was blocked by a black man holding a briefcase.

"Well, I'm not interested in insurance." Zuo Li took a wary look. Even though this was Manhattan, it never hurts to be careful.

"Sorry, I'm not selling insurance." The visitor raised his hands to show that he meant no harm: "Give me a few minutes, I'm Rich Paul, the agent of CAA, and I'm here to ask you if you have any ideas to join us.

Company, do you know caa? We are..."

The visitor was very nervous when he saw it. He kept introducing the information and was about to take out the information from his briefcase, but Zuo Li was not interested in listening at all. He was stunned by the name.

"Who? Who do you think you are?"

"Rich Paul, Mr. Zuo Li."

"Wow~~~" Zuo Li looked at the person in front of him, a shabby gray suit, dirty leather shoes, a disheveled head... Oh, I'm sorry, he has no hair and a slightly tired face. He just looks beautiful.

Yan, it can be vaguely seen that this is the future super agent who will dominate the NBA, the guy who makes many club owners hate him.

"Are you Rich Paul?"

"If it's true, I'll replace you sir."

"Well, I'm very interested." Zuo Li smiled and stretched out his hand.
